"Definitely,” Narveson told MLB.com. "That's what [I] want to do, but you also want to help the team win any way you can."

Narveson faced live hitters Friday in batting practice, the same day the Brewers had to place starter Hiram Burgos on the disabled list. It is not clear whether he will have a spot available for him in the rotation when he gets back, but his presence will give the team another option for the rotation.

Narveson has pitched just 11 innings over the last two seasons, as he underwent surgery on his pitching shoulder early in 2012. 

"I've been trying to come back. They won't let me," he said. He later clarified that he understands the team's position, saying, "I don’t want to come back early and then go back on the DL for two months."

Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said Ramirez will likely need four or five rehab games before returning from his injury, though a schedule has not been set.

"I don’t think he’s quite as close as it may look," said Mattingly. 

The next step would likely include an outing in extended spring training, according to the Denver Post. Francis would then be re-evaluated to determine his next step. 

If Betancourt's bullpen session does not go well, the team might opt to put him on the disabled list in order let the injury heal completely. 

Hanson is on the restricted list and hasn't started for the Angels since May 4.

He had 15 plate appearances in two days at extended spring training and should be up to speed after facing Angels starter Jered Weaver in his own rehab start, according to the Denver Post.

Bourjos has missed all of May after suffering the injury during the team's 19-inning game last month.

It seems like an eternity ago, but in 2010, Liriano was back on the upswing in Fantasy, with 201 strikeouts in a 14-win season for the Twins. Since then, injuries and his usual control problems have derailed him. But at age 29, his stuff is still exceptional. Who's to say he can't recapture his prior form?

Obviously, control will be the key, but after three starts in which it hasn't come back to bite him, he's worth the benefit of the doubt over a struggling Dan Haren or middling Jeremy Guthrie. Maybe the move to the NL will do for him what it did for A.J. Burnett.
